Tables to XML

Hi
I have many tables that i would really like to be converted to an XML format so i can incorporate them into my website.
I am familar with XML and can tag items up but am really struggling to get a table to format to xml properly so it is in the right sequence.
I could do it if i turned the table to text and manualy tagged each item, but i have far too many items to tag individually.
I have uploaded an example of the table, and I have added the xml code that i would like it to generate, if anybody could give me any advice on how to achieve this I would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

The bit i am mainly struggling on is i can select the columns and tag them, but then i need to select the rows and add another tag(in this case 'features') all it is doing is replacing the tags and not adding a new tag. The tags panel is set to 'retag', but how can i set it to 'add"

Hi,
Here is a small sample program to convert data in an internal table into XML format and display it.
DATA: itab TYPE TABLE OF spfli,
      l_xml TYPE REF TO cl_xml_document.
* Read data into a ITAB
SELECT * FROM spfli INTO TABLE itab.
* Create the XML Object
CREATE OBJECT l_xml.
* Convert data in ITAB to XML
CALL METHOD l_xml->create_with_data( name = 'Test1'
                                     dataobject = t_goal[] ).
* Display XML Document
CALL METHOD l_xml->display.
Here are some other sample SAP programs to handle XML in ABAP:
BCCIIXMLT1, BCCIIXMLT2, and BCCIIXMLT3.
Hope this helps,

Converting XML as table to XML as string

All,
I am successfully able to convert XML table from Internal Table. Now, I would like to convert this XML Table into XML string.
Any help on this will be appreciated.
Regards,
Salil
Moderator message: please search for available information/documentation before asking.
Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Dec 7, 2010 11:57 AM

Howdy,
CONCATENATE LINES OF lt_table into l_string SEPARATED BY cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf.
This will create a string of the lines of the internal table with a carriage return after each line.

Export Internal Table to XML in Background

Hi
I need to export a internal table into xml file in background using open dataset. The file is getting created but i am not able to open the file using IE/XML editor . When i open the file uisng wordpad i can see some charcters at the end of file which prevents it from opening in xml editor. if i delete the characters(box like) and save the file. i am able to open the file
When i downalod the same internal table via frontend using ws_downlod it works pefectly. no junk charcters are appended in the end. and hence files opens perfectly
below is the extract of program
START-OF-SELECTION.
   PERFORM get_data.
   PERFORM create_xml.
FORM get_data.
   REFRESH accesos.
   CLEAR accesos.
   MOVE: '45050' TO accesos-socio-numero,
                 'MOISES MORENO' TO accesos-socio-nombre,
                 '0' TO accesos-socio-reposicion.
   APPEND accesos.
ENDFORM.
i am using the following function modules
CALL FUNCTION 'SDIXML_DATA_TO_DOM'
        EXPORTING
             name         = 'ACCESOS'

lv_physcial_file = '

OPEN DATASET lv_physcial_file IN BINARY MODE   FOR OUTPUT MESSAGE l_msg.
   LOOP AT xml_tab.
     TRANSFER xml_tab TO lv_physcial_file.

The ws_download function works

many thnaks

Hi Chetan,
Can you just try changing the syntax to the following, I not sure if that will help but just try and see.
OPEN DATASET lv_physcial_file FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

I have manipulated the Tagnames in the Internal Table lt_xml.
Now I want to change the internal table to xml.
Is there any FM or a class. can anyone help me??
Thanks
Kind regards

Hallo,
Thanks for your Reply. I am trying to manipulate the xml attributes in print report. I have the data in xstring form. I have changed it to internal Table with following code.
CALL FUNCTION 'SRTUTIL_CONVERT_XML_TO_TABLE'
    EXPORTING
      xdoc             = lv_xstring
IMPORTING
*   ERROR_TEXT       =
     data             = lt_xml
After the change in the table lt_xml I am trying to have once again a xstring to give to the Print Report. I have tried it with class
LOOP AT lt_xml INTO ls_xml.
    CALL METHOD cl_soap_xml_helper=>transform_to_xml
      EXPORTING
        tag_name          = ls_xml-tag_name
        data              = ls_xml-tag_value

*    ignore_exception =
      CHANGING
        xml               = lv_xstring_two
* ENDLOOP.
but when I try to check the XML become an error
The XML cannot be showed, when Stylesheet XSL is used Remove the error and try again.
I cannot understand where is the error. Because the orignal xstring from system is shown correct. But when I create the new xstring give error .
Thanks for your help

Persist XML Data to Database Table - Generic XML Schema

Hi,
I would like to represent data in XML format and persist to any database tables.
The ideal xml is like:
<TABLE NAME="TABLE1">
<TABLEDEF><COLUMN NAME="COLUMN1"/><COLUMN NAME="COLUMN2"/></TABLEDEF>
<ROW><COLUMN VALUE="value1"/><COLUMN VALUE="value2"/></ROW>
<ROW><COLUMN VALUE="value11"/><COLUMN VALUE="value22"/></ROW>
</TABLE>
<TABLE NAME="TABLE2">
</TABLE>
The XML could then be parsed, and saved to database with JDBC by manually composing the statement strings.
To reduce the coding effort (xml parsing, JDBC connection, etc), are there any open source projects available to achieve the above purpose? The popular O/R mapping tools like Hibernate, Castor, etc, can't handle this scanario because they require the knowledge of the tables on the server side in order to create the mapping files in advance.
Thanks for the help!

Dynamic Table with XML Schema

Hi, I am new to livecycle and wondering if there is any sample for setting up the dynamic table with XML schema so I can access the data through workbench's xpath. thanks.

Ivor,
Take a look at the samples shipped with Designer. For 8.2.1 release take a look at
C:\Program Files\Adobe\LiveCycle Designer ES\8.2\EN\Samples\Forms\Purchase Order\Schema\Schema\Purchase Order.xsd
and the form samples.
Otherwise, forward a request to [email protected] I would be happy to send you a sample XDP with a dynamic table and a schema.

Spry Tables and Xml Data Sets viewed in IE7

Has anyone ever run into a problem with Spry Tables and Xml
Data Sets viewed in IE7? Work fine in IE6 and Firefox, but get the
error "exception caught while loading feed.xml: [object Error]" in
IE 7. Any ideas?
Attached is the xml I'm using.
Thanks

I came looking for the answer to this question. I could not
find an answer. Eventually I found it the answer that worked for
me, a graphic designer with not much experience in xml.
The following url provided an errata file in PDF format:
www.peachpit.com/dwcs3cib
which includes the following addendum to the incomplete
instructions in the book i was using to learn about spry:
"If Internet Explorer 7 is your primary browser, you'll nee
to take some extra steps to view spry dynamic content locally.
First, your site must be within the local server webroot; be sure
your Lessons folder is stored within the Inetpub>wwwroot folder.
Next, double-click the site name in the files panel to open the
Site Definition dialogue. Click the Testing Server category; from
the Access List choose Local/Network. Click Okay to close the Site
Definition dialogue. Now, when you preview your page with Internet
Explorer, your local Web server (localhost) serves the page as
designed."
Horray for me! Now i can move on from here and actually get
some work done!

Save Table in XML Automatically

Hello,
I need your help...
I want to get in a oracle db one table in xml format. I saw that we have a ORACLE XML DB package, where I can run "select" to obtain tables in xml. What I wan to do now, it is to save the result in a windows folder automatically, for example each hour. Do you know how can I do that? any idea?
Best Regards.

If you can, could you give an example of stored procedure to save file in the server?Yes, here's an example :
1) Create a directory object
create or replace directory test_dir as 'c:\oracle\test';2) The procedure
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE getEmployees
IS
xmldoc          CLOB;
xmlprolog       VARCHAR2(80);
BEGIN
-- builds the XML prolog using the database charset for the encoding
SELECT '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="' || utl_i18n.map_charset(value) || '"?>'
INTO xmlprolog
FROM nls_database_parameters
WHERE parameter = 'NLS_CHARACTERSET'
-- generates the XML document
SELECT XMLSerialize(DOCUMENT
           XMLElement("Employees",
             XMLAgg(
               XMLElement("Employee",
                 XMLAttributes(empno as "id")
               , XMLForest(
                   ename as "name"
                 , job as "job"
                 , hiredate as "hireDate"
               order by empno
INTO xmldoc
FROM scott.emp
WHERE deptno = 10
-- writes the document to a file in the directory TEST_DIR
DBMS_XSLPROCESSOR.clob2file(xmlprolog || xmldoc, 'TEST_DIR', 'employees.xml');
END;
/When called, it'll create a file "employees.xml" containing :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Employees>

This not really a specific APEX question... but I search the database forum and found this thread which I think will help
Exporting Oracle table to XML
If it does not I suggest looking at the database forum or have a look at this document on using the XML toolkit
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/html/B12146_01/c_xml.htm
Hope this helps
